STAR Members,

Earlier this week, I notified the STAR Board of Directors that I will be stepping down as Chair on March 24, 2022.   Though I will be stepping back from the position of Chair, I expect to remain active with the Board from an ex-officio position in the coming year.

The STAR Board of Directors will consider new leadership roles at the next Board of Directors meeting on March 24, 2022.

I have been honored to serve on the State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR) Board of Directors since 2016.  In that time, I have worked closely with three Executive Directors and served as Treasurer, Vice-Chair, and Chair (since 2019).    I would like to thank each of the Board members and STAR staff that I have worked with for their spirit of collaboration and teamwork. 

During my time on the Board, I have played a role in re-writing the STAR mission, the founding of the STAR Reuse Council and STAR Business Council, supporting statewide recycling as an essential pandemic service, as well as providing support for the TCEQ Texas Recycling Market Development Plan.  I am proud to be part of this impactful organization which creates opportunity for a true circular economy in Texas.

Sincerely,

Jason McCombs

Board Chair, State of Texas Alliance for Recycling (STAR)
